Even though Chicago Bites’ Croissant Quest is long over, I keep spotting, and often sampling, croissants throughout the city. I picked up this chocolate-filled beauty at Grahamwich and thought the look of it might brighten this rainy day for you. The taste of it certainly hit the spot — a perfectly flakey, buttery outside housing a rich chocolate center. Yep. When it’s done right, you can’t go wrong.

NOTE: I’m told these croissants come from Fritz pastry. So, if you like, you can go directly to the source!
